Your company’s culture is synonymous with its personality. Your mission, vision, and values need to be more than words written on paper. To be successful, you need to walk the walk and talk the talk. When you actively act the part of your company’s mission, vision, and values, your employees can also start implementing and feeling empowered by these characteristics that matter most in the company. 

Whether your first impression is your LinkedIn profile, business page, or an in-person networking event, the moment the interaction takes place, your personal presentation and professionalism will decide how your customer responds. 

You never get a second chance to make a first impression, so you want your first one to count.

Linkability has written numerous articles on the power of first impressions on LinkedIn. If you need help creating a robust LinkedIn profile, contact us today. 

One can not charm or seduce their way out of lost time. Time has no mercy for those who take it for granted.

Successful people learn how to increase their productivity to improve their bottom line. To do this, you need to: 

• Develop good productivity habits (You can learn more here). 

• Eliminate distractions (set timers while in deep work mode. Turn your phone OFF)

• Stay organized/Keep a to-do list handy (complete the top three most difficult / impactful tasks FIRST THING each day)

• Set deadlines and meet those deadlines

Spend your time wisely, and you are more likely to see success. 

Think about those people you regularly interact with. Do they cheer you on and make you want to do better or be better, or are they harmful to reaching your goals?

Although good can be found in being around people who don’t think just like you, when you’re around people who make you feel secure, inspired, and confident, you’re more likely to push yourself just a little bit harder and reach goals that you’ve always aspired to meet. 

Entrepreneurs and professionals wear many hats, balancing many tasks every day, which is why a solid organizational structure is at the core of every successful business. If you want to flourish and prevail through even the most demanding circumstances, you need a solid understanding of financial organization, time management, project management, and task allocation. 

When you establish time-tested business principles, you will find a solid foundation and understanding for making your business and professional goals thrive. 

Freedom comes from planning, consistency, goal tracking and discipline.
